Chapter 81 – Group Tasks
With lunch time, all the lectures I had to take for the day were finally finished.
It was such a boring lecture that I couldn’t find any fun in it, but it still felt different from usual today.
“In the end, we couldn’t find the help.”
That’s because he and Seo-ah became officially dating thanks to the words he spoke out while walking around the university grounds. He felt like he was going to fly in the sky and couldn’t even think about saving the rest of his group.
It was her her her her first girlfriend her her her, and not only was her her her her beauty her her her unbelievable her, but he was madly in love with her right before they started dating, so he couldn’t control his heart her her her her.
When the lecture was over and it was time to go home, it occurred to me that I had to ask for help.
“Yes.”
Seo-ah also smiled faintly, as if she was happy to be officially dating me, and she nodded her head with her flushed face.
“But wouldn’t something work out?”
As if it were someone else’s business, I calmly said that and took out my old smartphone and opened the messenger app.
You must work in groups of four, and the number of people listening to the professor’s lecture has dropped to exactly four.
So, it meant that even if a person tried to stay, he could never stay.
It was clear that people like us who couldn’t form a group and were on the fence would first send a full message through the and messenger apps to find us.
That’s why.
[Is there anyone who listens to Professor Chan-wook’s lecture and wishes for a helping hand? ? I still haven’t been able to save Joe…]
When I entered the chat room using the messenger app, a recently posted message caught my attention, as I expected.
Below that, another person who was also left behind because he could not save Joe was seen communicating with that person as if he had been waiting.
[There are two left, so if you see it, be sure to tell me!! I would appreciate it if you could contact me.]
“Joe was saved right away.”
I looked at Seo-ah and said.
“Yes. I’m glad.”
Fortunately, it seemed like I had succeeded in rescuing Joe.
After being able to easily find Joe without spending any time or effort, I decided to immediately open my personal messenger and send him a message.
But what should I send?
First, I wrote down whatever came to mind, erased it, and eventually asked Seo-ah.
“Um… Can’t I just send it away?”
“I think it might work, though.”
It was safe to say that this was the first time I had sent a message to someone else than Seo-ah and Seung-i.
Although we had contacted each other separately in the past, it was an unavoidable task and procedure, so I didn’t think anything of it at the time, but this time was different.
[There are two of us, but we don’t have enough staff.]
Since I couldn’t stop contacting you forever, I just sent it like this.
And a while later I received a call.
Can we meet now?
I have to go to my part-time job, but today is a particularly early day so I have time left.
People in other departments were still listening to lectures in the classroom or waiting for public lectures, but our department ended particularly quickly and was ready to go home.
“Seo. I asked if we could meet right away. Do you want to go right away?”
“I only gave you a week, so shouldn’t that be the case?”
Seo-ah’s opinion was that they should get rid of the bull’s horn as soon as possible, and that they should meet anyway, so let’s just meet right away.
“Then let’s do it.”
There’s about an hour left, so there shouldn’t be any major problems.
When asked if we could meet, I responded that it was possible.
Then, as if he was waiting for us to give him an answer, he asked us to meet right away at a cafe in the university.
“Shall we go?”
“Yes.”
Without hesitation, we walked straight towards the building where the cafe was located.
At the same time, I held her hand to bring us, who were much closer than before, a little closer.
When her hand was suddenly grabbed, Seo-ah’s body her trembled, but soon her hand also held my hand tightly.
We held hands on the first day we started dating.
Even though we had sex before that.
*
I headed to a cafe right in front of the university where I was supposed to meet.
If possible, it would be nice to go to the cafe where I work… I couldn’t erase the regret.
But what can I do? I don’t know if it’s close, but I have to go somewhere, so I can’t change the location, so I’ll have to meet here.
“It’s not bad.”
As I entered the cafe, I expressed my emotions after seeing the inside.
It seemed like it would be quite popular among young people as the cafe where I worked was as spacious, clean, and had a pretty interior.
These days, social media is very popular, and it is popular to take pictures of even the most insignificant things in my opinion.
Anyway, anyway.
“They said he came first…”
I looked around the inside of the cafe with Seo-ah.
Most of the tables were already laughing and chatting with each other, and there were a few people who came alone or in pairs, but we didn’t know who we were looking for.
Unfortunately, both of them are based on the profile picture of the messenger app, so I can’t find them by inferring the face rather than the name.
So, I was about to contact them again and ask them to tell me the exact location.
Seo-ah pulled my sleeve.
“It’s like those people.”
“Huh… ?”
Seo-ah said, pointing to a table in her corner.
There were two men sitting there, and they couldn’t take their eyes off us, or more specifically, on Seo-ah.
“Why?”
“It’s just that it’s a reaction that feels like it knows me.”
Seo-ah’s answer was surprisingly simple.
She says it seems like they are right because they just seem to know her.
Well, there is a point.
Even if people look at Seo-ah as if they are fascinated by her beautiful appearance, how many people would show that they know her?
And because Seo-ah is so pretty, she is famous in our department and in other departments. Not only is there no one who does not know her face, but she also became famous for me just because I always go with her.
In addition, just before I came here, there was another person who had not yet been able to find a group, and they said they would take that person as well. So they naturally inferred at once that the person they wanted to bring was Seo-ah, just because they followed me to the same department and the same lecture. It will be possible.
So, when they saw us just entering the cafe, they probably reacted differently from other people.
“Then let’s go first.”
It seemed right to me, so I took a step towards them.
As I gradually get closer. They looked very nervous when they noticed Seo-ah approaching closely behind me.
As the distance got closer, I was able to see their appearance in more detail, and their appearance and clothing made it understandable why they had been left behind and could not save Joe until now.
It’s not that they blindly put others down, but just looking at their appearance, they seemed like the type of people who couldn’t get along well with other people or make friends.
“Hello. Are you the person who said you were looking for Joe?”
“Oh, yes… Yes, that’s right.”
She glanced at Seo-ah and stammered, as if she had no resistance to a woman as beautiful as Seo-ah.
“You found the right one. Let’s sit here.”
“Yes.”
Unfortunately, the two were sitting facing each other, so one had to sit on the other side.
It seemed a bit awkward to suddenly ask everyone to leave their seats so we could sit together, so we had no choice but to sit separately.
When both of them put down their butts and are facing each other.
The new group members who were still in Miri only glanced at Seo-ah, watching her, but when they didn’t say anything about the task, I was the first to speak up.
“What will the topic be?”
“Yes… ? The topic?”
I was trying to get straight to the point and decide on a topic, but the two men were momentarily dumbfounded by my question, but then looked shocked and asked back.
“It’s an assignment.”
“Ah. That’s right, the task…”
They opened their mouths late.
“Which… Is better… ?”
I asked, and when they started asking me and Seo-ah again, I got the feeling that the group assignment would not be as smooth as expected.
No matter how long I wait, there are countless times when I feel like they won’t come up with an answer first and I’ll just be waiting for Seo-ah to come up with her answer.
“Is there something you want to do? Something good?”
I asked Seo-ah.
“Uhm…”
Unlike the other two, Seo-ah was seriously worried about what topic to choose.
“How about this?”
Seo-ah expressed one opinion.
“Joe, I think it’s good.”
“It’s not bad… ?”
I simply said it to her and she seemed to say yes without any hesitation, but she didn’t seem to be really bad from what I heard, so her mood was heading towards a positive one.
“Then shall we do this?”
“Good.”
“Of course.”
The topic was decided unanimously.
“Then the next role is.”
The next thing to decide is the division of roles.
“Well… How about Seo-ah making her presentation… ?”
When I presented a one-dimensional opinion that it would be better for a pretty woman to present rather than a man, Seo Ah furrowed her pretty eyebrows.
She had absolutely no intention of announcing anything and flatly refused.
When she refused, as if she had been waiting, she asked if I would like to present to me.
“I also have a bit of a presentation…”
To be honest, the presentation was too much for me.
Rather than saying I just don’t want to do it, I would say it’s too burdensome and my body rejects it. The two of us discussed whether they felt my sincerity, and soon one of us volunteered to be the presenter.
“Then what about PPT?”
“I’m not good at it.”
“Me too.”
Even when asked if we could make a PPT, Seo-ah and I firmly shook our heads and decided that one of us would take care of the PPT instead of ourselves.
So Seo-ah and I naturally took on the responsibility of researching the data.
